Check in was weird. Wide and tall counter which is not convenient for short people. I had to stand on my tippy toes to grab what was given to me. When I checked in, I could only see the persons forehead as she was sitting in a low chair. For the price, it’s not bad. Hallways smelled of cigarettes but the room did not.

Economical Stay

We were just staying overnight, so we didn't need all the amenities that you pay for at a higher-priced hotel. Gold Star Inn met our needs. The staff was accommodating and very nice. It is an older hotel, and there were some paint and furnishing upgrades, but some of the infrastructure needed improvement. Overall, it was a good night's stay.
